Yes, I really think I would damage the camera, because the lens weighs
almost three times the weight of the camera, and it's pulling on the lens
mount.
I will get a bag that goes on the side and can take the camera with the
long lens attached (10 3/8 inches long...).
The LowePro Mini Trekker is not useful for this, because I have to take it
off my back every time I need the camera.
Thanks
Pierre
